Anyone know is an LED replacement bulb is availed for the stock dome light? How about the peanut bulbs in the gauge cluster?

This was the vendor I bought from, but he currently has no ads, and his website is no longer active.... however it says he was on here as of yesterday.

I think I only paid $3 each or 2/5 something like that. I, but I only have one extra

Okay Nick. Thanks for the help. The lights are cheap enough to buy and try. I can always go back

I got 2 for under $2 on eBay. Search for this
42mm 16 SMD White Dome Festoon Interior LED Car Tail Front Light Lamp Bulb
I put them in the rear over the sink light as well. Very bright

I was able to find an overhead LED by searching "festoon bulb LED" and cross-reerencing the AutoBone light PN with the LED equal.

LED festoon bulbs come in warm white or cool white. Warm would be in keeping with the original color. Festoon bulbs come in different lengths. Make sure you get the right length. Measure the existing, typically in metric measure.
